it's a wonderful life: New Year's Resolutions

I just found a note by Ellie, age 7, on which she wrote her New Year's Resolutions for 2012.

1. Chores
2. Donashuns to charity
3. Food for Food Bank
4. Baby sitting

Oh, how I love her!

funny things my kids say

I was doing Lauren's hair on Sunday morning. She was sitting on the bathroom counter, looking in the mirror as I styled. When her hair was done, she exclaimed, " I wish I could pop my head off and staple it to my wall so I could look at myself all day! I am so beautiful!" Lauren is nothing if not dramatic!

Ellie was eating a graham cracker and a little piece fell onto her dress. She saw it shifting on her dress while she was walking, and thought it was a bug. She WIGGED out! Mike kept telling her that it was just a cracker. When she finally calmed down, she said, "I hate ladybugs, potato bugs, and crackers that walk!"

Today, at the mall, a cute little grandpa came up to us and asked Ellie what her name was, she replied (very matter-of-factly) "My name is Ellie Christine dot com" so funny!

This morning Ellie came into our bed. After a little snuggle with mom, she said, "Mom, I have loved you for my whole life." These are the moments that make it all worthwhile!!

Today Ellie and I went to Walmart. We were walking through the parking lot, when Ellie walked staight into a parked car. She really banged into it! I asked her why she walked into the car and she responded, " Well, the wind was blowing into my eyes, so I was walking with my eyes shut, and suddenly a car was there!"

The other day Lauren and I were cooking together. I told her that I don't like to use too much oil because it isn't healthy. She got a very serious look on her face and said, "Yeah, because oil goes in the car, and we're not supposed to eat car parts!"

it's a wonderful life
